What do we offer you?

We know that starting a career is a big step. Everything is new, you don’t know most of your colleagues yet – and let’s be honest, on such a big island you can sometimes get lost. We always start together with an introductory week so that your apprenticeship gets off to a good start, so that you can familiarise yourself with everything calmly and have an easy arrival on Mazubi island. All apprentices, no matter what career they are studying for, will have the time and opportunity to familiarise themselves with everything calmly. And you will never be alone during your training: your personal in-house trainer will always be on hand with help and advice, will regularly review your learning goals with you, and you will always know where you are in terms of your graduation.

A dynamic working and learning environment is important to us, and the compensation should therefore not be overlooked: Six weeks’ holiday on Mazubi island is a matter of course, you will get free membership of the sport and leisure club and can visit an apprentice camp with all the other apprentices during your training. At the same time, your meals at the staff restaurant are subsidised and we will provide you with a half-fare travelcard for the entire duration of your training.

Furthermore, as Micarna, we are part of the Migros working world. This means that Mazubi island is one of countless training islands in a vast ocean of training opportunities.
